Yes, well aware of this and it is pretty awesome. I would be interested to know more about how to download these though as, #1 - anything Google is fleeting, it's only some amount of time before these disappear And #2 - I want the freedom to print these in large format or display them digitally on large screens / projectors.
Totally agree, who knows when Google will pull the plug. I don't see this being very profitable for them. I already have a favorite artwork that's been removed, Two Sisters by Renoir. There's no legal reason I can imagine that they'd have to take it down so it'd have to do with ongoing deals they have with museums.
And that sounds like a cool project. Take a look at this:
https://dezoomify.ophir.dev/
At the top there's a browser extension and a desktop application. You can enter a url from google cultural institute and it'll request each image that constitutes the whole.
More info on the githubg: https://github.com/lovasoa/dezoomify
Another project more specifically aimed at google cultural institute: https://github.com/mewforest/google-art-downloader
And there's this one: https://github.com/piotrantosz/google-arts-crawler
Dezoomify is the most recently updated. I believe with a script, you'd be able to create a list of artworks you want full prints of and have it download them one by one.
Thanks, this is great!
Nearly all Google Art Project works can be downloaded at max res from the Wikimedia Commons
